Abstract
This paper highlighted the Impactful of Educational Technology Pedagogy on students' learning styles for
achieving Sustainable Education in tertiary institutions within Sokoto State Nigeria, in the post-Covid era. The
study investigates how EdTech has transformed teaching methods, shifting from traditional lecture-based
approaches to more interactive, student-centered strategies such as flipped classrooms and virtual learning
environments. It aims to identify the effects of these technological interventions on different learning styles
namely, Active, Reflective, Verbal, and Visual and their contribution to sustainable learning. The research
employed a descriptive research with cross sectional design and the study population consisting of 200 level
studentsfrom faculty of Education universities in Sokoto State. A sample of 352 students was selected using a
stratified random sampling method. Data collection instruments included the Index of Learning Styles (ILS)
questionnaire, which assessed students' learning styles, and a researcher-developed questionnaire on
Educational Technology Pedagogy. The instrument's reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach Alpha value of
0.87, indicating its reliability. Data analysis encompassed descriptive statistics and Multivariate Analysis of
Variance (MANOVA). The findings revealed that Educational Technology Pedagogy had a positive impact in
the post-Covid era, particularly on Active and Reflective learning styles, contributing to Sustainable learning in
Sokoto State's tertiary institutions. Active learners demonstrated an affinity for collaborative learning, engaging
in online forums, asynchronous learning, customized problem-solving, hands-on activities, and critical thinking.
Reflective learners, on the other hand, favour synchronous learning, emphasizing skill development, fostering
autonomy in thought generation, and encouraging critical thinking. The research recommends that Universities
should provide students with access to diverse educational technology resources that supporttheir preferred
learning styles
